However, the chocolate coloring is actually called Red in Dobes. And his tan markings could actually be a Labrador trait, it's not unheard of--though far more uncommon now. The eye coloring is typical of the recessive brown color (or chocolate/red), as is a pink nose.

He looks kind of short to me.. another reason I'm not thinking Dobe. Any other pics? They might help people more familiar with different breeds than I am. Especially anything showing his build, like a side photo.

i saw lab when i looked at the picture, though i could be wrong, the first thing i thought was lab x dobe (and i think i only thought dobe because of the facial markings, and they could be common in many breeds)

I forgot to say he was like 9 months in the pic, unfurtunly that is the only pic I have of him, I had more but in a rainy day the roof of my room cracked a bit and water fell inside ruined many tings like a book where I had those pics.

I don't think he was a pure lab, his mother fur was semi long like a GSD also the tail, and her ears in the type of a staff like her son.

Of this dog Micky his body was similar to a lab but whit shorther legs and shorther hair, the feet wasen't padded, the tail was like a GSD.

Also he was guardian, not agressive but he watched the house well.

Maybe his mom was lab/GSD?

Well the labs where rare back then but maybe there's a posibility of havin some lab blood on him.
